A pregnant woman who was driving with a young girl in the back seat of an SUV was arrested Thursday on suspicion of evading arrest and endangering a child.

Elishia Porshay Holloway, 22, was driving in the 300 block of Lee Street around 4:15 p.m. when Midland police officers attempted to pull her over because they recognized her from an incident on Wednesday.

Holloway doesn’t have a valid driver’s license or insurance but a car-impounding company mistakenly released the vehicle on Wednesday, according to an arrest affidavit.

Holloway didn’t pull over until she reached the 300 block of Lincoln Street. She had passed through a school zone near the 1700 block of Indiana Avenue, the affidavit said.

The officer said he remembered the woman from the previous day when Holloway had mentioned she was pregnant with twins. A 1-year-old girl was sitting on the left side of the middle row of seats in the SUV, according to the document. Holloway reportedly wouldn’t tell police who the little girl was.

The affidavit did not say whether the young girl was sitting in a car seat.

Holloway was arrested and charged with evading arrest, a state felony, and endangering a child, a second-degree felony. She is being held on a $25,000 bond.

If convicted Holloway could face up to two years in prison for evading arrest and an additional 20 years for endangering a child.
